AZOCYCLOTIN
RESIDUES
RECOMMENDATIONS
In accordance with the report of the 1982 Meeting on
azocyclotin/cyhexatin (para. 4.3),1 and noting the change in the
estimated maximum residue for cyhexatin on beans proposed by the
present Meeting, the proposed limit for azocyclotin to 0.2 mm/kg is
amended in order to maintain the comparability between residues
resulting from uses of azocyclotin and cyhexatin. The Meeting
considered that a re-evaluation of the residues of azocyclotin on
fruiting vegetables would not be worthwhile until further information
on use patterns and residues data was available. It is important to
recognize that good agricultural practice in the use of azocyclotin
and cyhexatin should not lead to the use of these pesticides together
on the same crop. Consequently, the maximum residue limits of these
compounds should not be regarded as additive.
